Facom Tools

[Donald Lamond]

Thank you Dan, i'll follow up on that right away.  The Facom DM.10A is the
tool  for taking the valve seals off the valve while the head is installed on
the engine.

I have a Lysle  tool which is used to keep air pressure on the valve so it
doesn't fall into the cylinder.  I have read somewhere that about 90 psi has
to be maintained in the cylinder to keep the valve from falling.

I'll be getting back to the list with whatever remedy I find.

Thankyou for the reply,

Donald
